Protection Disabled?

Earlier this week I updated the Protection Updates (8/26/2006) and enabled protection for all items. Last evening running routine updates, checks and scans, 19 ActiveX items under Internet Explorer were disabled. I have seen something similar before.

A scan of the computer listed an unknown virus at:
...\Application Data\Sun\Java\Deployment\cache\javapi\v1.0\jar\arr3.jar-44f46a26-6c90c59f.zip

The item has been deleted, no other problems found, computer working normally, I hope.

This home computer is used by other people. I am sure that porn is downloaded to this computer.

Are there web sites that can disable security protection.

Is there enough encryption used to protect SpywareBlaster from outside influences.

A number of months ago I saw a demonstration from a porn site that had movies. The movies needed a special codec. When the download codec was clicked an activeX warning came up. When permission was granted to allow the activeX control, within seconds half of all sites on Spybot S&D Immunize list had been disabled and Norton AV had been trashed. SpywareBlaster was not affected. The fix was to reload that computer.

If a signed on user does not have Administrative rights....that can be a cause for the ActiveX items showing disabled.

This posting is to spark debate on the security of security software and can we do better. SpywareBlaster is a excellent product.

If indeed no help is required for the Spywareblaster product....We ask that you start a thread in one of our other forums in order to "debate on the security of security software" and would suggest our other security issues & news forum.
